Chapter 2: Begging
Because of the light on his back, Wen Ruyan couldn't see who the person who came.
"Awake?" A familiar voice sounded, and Gu Zaoli stood in front of her with a smile, holding a bowl of white porridge in his hand: "It's quite a mouthful, did you ask if you woke up with the fragrance." ”
Wen Ruyan looked at the white porridge that was handed to her, although she didn't know how long she had been unconscious, but the empty feeling in her stomach couldn't fool others, she was very hungry.
"I'm not hungry, you can eat." She said lightly, but her eyes seemed to be glued to the bowl of porridge, and she couldn't take her eyes off it.
She subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the burning sensation in her throat burned her throat dry and stinging, like a reaction to a long lack of water in the desert.
Seeing her such a contrived attitude, Gu Zaoli couldn't help but laugh and scold: "If you don't eat it, I'll throw it away, I've already eaten it, you hurry up." ”
Wen Ruyan looked at his eyes for two seconds, snatched the bowl of still warm white porridge from his hand, and poured it into his throat when he brought it to his mouth.
She didn't taste the white porridge at all, she just thought it was the most delicious thing in the world, and Gu Zaoli next to her was still smiling and scolding her to be careful not to break the bowl, and the tears she had choked on the white porridge in her throat were about to come out.
It's white porridge, but it's almost the same as white water, there is no rice at all, and three grains of rice are considered good, but it also makes her feel a lot better.
At least there is no excessive hunger anymore.
"Full?"
"Hmm." Wen Ruyan nodded, Gu Zaoli pulled the hair between her sideburns back behind her ears, and her eyes were full of smiles: "It's like a little rabbit gnawing on a carrot." ”
Wen Ruyan had never been said like this, his eyes were staring at him with disgust, and the corners of his eyes were a little crimson, but because he was still sick, he didn't look threatening.
Gu Zaoli laughed at her again, wiped the bowl with the hem of his clothes, and turned to leave the City God Temple.
Wen Ruyan half-sat in place, watching his figure step out of the City God Temple.
"Don't look at it, your father-in-law went to beg."
A lazy voice came from behind him, Wen Ruyan was so shocked that her hairs stood on end, and she looked at the person and retorted: "He is not my father-in-law."
A lame man was moving outward, looking at Wen Ruyan from top to bottom with ill-intentioned eyes: "That kid is really good to you, you have been protecting you in your arms when you were sick before, and even gave you the porridge you snatched, and said that it was not your father-in-law?" I don't even want to beg for you to join you, tsk. ”
Wen Ruyan didn't know what to say for a while, and the lame man didn't plan to say anything, so after laughing twice, he crawled outside the City God Temple.
She saw that there was also a small bowl pinned to his waist, which should have begged as well.
She lay on the ground, put some straw on the side of herself, although there was no feeling of stopping the cold, but just like Wangmei quenching her thirst, there was still a psychological comfort, she repeatedly thought about what the person said just now, and seemed to have a long dream in a daze, in the dream there were many people scolding many people walking around, but she just couldn't see what was happening.
Who is she?
On this day, she slept groggily three times, dreamed repeatedly and woke up repeatedly, until Gu Zaoli came back in the evening, and then had a peaceful dream.
The second day was not as good as the first day, Gu Zaoli did not grab the soup for almsgs, and there was no result in begging, only brought back a steamed bun, and the two of them divided it in half.
"Do you remember anything?"
This sentence is what Gu Zaoli asks every time he comes back, Wen Ruyan knows what he thinks, but she is also very afraid, if she is not a rich family and can't pay Gu Zaoli, will he lose himself.
"Amoxicillin."
Gu Zaoli was stunned: "What?" What is this. ”
Wen Ruyan shook her head, her face was confused: "I don't know, but I seem to have heard of this name, if you have a fever and a cold, it would be good to take amoxicillin." ”
Gu Zaoli's eyes were like dark night, pitch black as if he could suck in the heavens, earth and stars, but at this time, his eyes were full of puzzlement, his brows were also tightly frowned, he put his hand on Wen Ruyan's forehead, and she was so frightened that she shrank back.
"It's a lot better than the previous days." Gu Zaoli had already withdrawn his hand, and said with some puzzlement: "Didn't you burn stupid before, and you have already started talking nonsense?" ”
He has been begging for so many years, and he has traveled all over the world, and he has never heard of amoxicillin.
Seeing him like this, Wen Ruyan swallowed all the words that came to his mouth.
She still remembers what kind of cold spirit, saline.
It seems that I may be confusing dreams with reality, isn't it really stupid?
Wen Ruyan's face showed a little puzzlement.
"Are you going to beg tomorrow?"
"Go, but there are some escapees from the north, and business has been sluggish recently, and there is no income."
Wen Ruyan quietly listened to Gu Zaoli talk about the events of the year, before the big flood, although the family conditions were not rich, but he could still satisfy his appetite, at that time he could often ask for chicken legs or something, and sometimes he pretended to be a charlatan to cheat, and someone was fooled to entertain him.
When she heard something interesting, Wen Ruyan would laugh alongside.
She didn't seem to have experienced any of these experiences, which was strange and interesting
"Well, I'll go begging with you tomorrow."
Wen Ruyan looked at him with a smile, Gu Zaoli squinted at her, and heard her explain in a low voice: "I think my health is much better, I can't always lie there like this and watch you make money, I always feel that my conscience can't get by, besides, two people begging can be much better than one person begging." ”
"You take care of your injuries first, and I'll talk about what I said when you get better." Gu Zaoli said: "Besides, you are a woman begging with me, be careful of being robbed by others to be a concubine." ”
Wen Ruyan opened her mouth, but after all, she was still frightened by the last sentence and didn't say anything more.
Early in the morning of the third day, Gu Zaoli went out.
Seeing her leave, Wen Ruyan pushed away the weeds on her body and walked out.
"Yo yo, the little daughter-in-law went to find her father-in-law."
Since the lame man shouted like this, the words daughter-in-law and Xianggong have come to this city god temple, and it seems to be the only thing that has become everyone's entertainment, Gu Zaoli directly ignores it every time, and has a hippie smile.
But Wen Ruyan still needs face after all, and every time she can't help but glare at those people in shame, but provokes those people to blow the hooligan whistle and laugh: "Yo, the little daughter-in-law is angry, I have to let the husband come back to coax." ”
Wen Ruyan walked out of the City God Temple, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, although the air here was also stuffy and cold, it was much better than the smell of sweat in the City God Temple, where a bunch of men were huddled under one roof.
She exhaled, shivered with cold, glanced at the direction Gu Zaoli left, and walked in the opposite direction.
